7 Rds: 95# Power Snatch, Snatch Balance, OH Squats

1-31

219.4#

Seven rounds for time of:
95 pound Power snatch, 7 reps
95 pound Snatch balance, 7 reps
95 pound Overhead squat, 7 reps

17:55

This was ugly…
power snatch I caught at the top and did not force myself under the bar
snatch balance was painful… had to grip the bar wide when rested on my traps (no flexibility) and when I dropped to catch it the bar was moving down putting strain on my shoulders and elbows
OH squats were okay,,, could have been a bit deeper

wore wrist wraps

10 min HSPU, 5 min Squats, 2 min Pull-ups, 1 min Push-ups

1 Rep: Clean, Bench, OH Squat

1-26

220.6#

Clean, 1 rep… power clean (explosive reverse curl) 225
Bench press, 1 rep… 410 +5 from 12-26
Overhead squat, 1 rep… 185

820 total load

Cleans are still a weak point, however OH squats were better than they have been. I was able to keep ‘the groove’ and stay in line much better today. Probably could have done the 185 3-5 times but when I went heavier (205) the weight came forward as I dropped below 120* or so. Very pleased and suprised I was able to push 410 today as sore as my arms and lats were and being 6# lighter from last one rep.

Hold handstand against wall for two minutes…. I couldnt lock out my elbows and I slowly sank. I tried to keep track of time, but probably closer to 1:30
15 Handstand push-ups… after first set they were not very deep

18:49

This SUCKED… I cant hardly do a handstand, more less walk on my hands. Tried the wall walk first,... no way. My shoulders are trashed after Lynne yesterday and my wrists are killing me. Once again, this sucked.

Walking lunge, 50 meters
Standing broad-jump, 100 meters
Run 200 meters

17:46

Marked off 50M in the hallway, lunges were a bit shallow (no kiss) due to the tile floor, my broad jump just plain sucks, and the first 2 runs should have been harder… I did kick it in on the last 200. Not much of a warm-up today… GHD and EXT and some stretching. I gotta wake up earlier…

Can’t hit a Stregth WOD in the afternoon, gotta catch the bus for a dual right after school

Thrusters

3:04

Thrusters were good and low.. need to make sure to push head through at the topI was so psyched up when I started I ended up getting into a butterfly kip on the 1st set of pull-ups and had to take ap10 sec rest second set… totally gassed afterwards, and felt like I should have been faster on 15 and 9… I know I could be under 3:00 with regular pull-ups

Considering all the pull-ups, push-ups, sit-ups and squats I have don in the last 4 wods.. Murph (sub for 2nd 5k row), Angie, Cindy, and now Barbara I am suprised that I PR’d. I really wanted to hit a strength workout, but my whole body is cashed… Sit-ups were the difference today… very little rest. squats caugt myself a little high, rolled hips at top.

Not a PR but I know that my form was better on my squats and push-ups than ever before… hit the bottom and rolled hips at the on on all squats, touched my nose and locked out all of the push-ups. My chin was above the bar on all of the pull-ups… not a great pull as my lats and arms were very sore from subbing Murph for 2nd row last cycle and from Angie yesterday… legs were also a little tight from strength workout before I got started…
